AUSTIN, MN – The North American Hockey League (NAHL) today announced the Divisional Stars of the Week presented by Bauer Hockey for the week ending October 8, 2023. The Divisional Stars of the Week is a weekly feature during the 2023-24 season that honors the top-performing players in each of the four NAHL divisions. Only players who are nominated by their respective teams are considered for the Divisional Players of the Week award.
Austin goalie Trent Wiemken, 19, started and won both games this past weekend as the Bruins moved to 7-1-0 on the season with a sweep of St. Cloud. The 6’2/170 lbs. native of Fargo, ND, stopped 50 of 54 shots in the two wins. On Friday, he made 23 saves and stopped all three shooters in the shootout in a 3-2 win. On Saturday, he made 27 saves in a 4-2 win. For the season, Wiemken is 5-1-0 with a 1.95 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage.
“Trent was outstanding this weekend. He made some key saves at big moments in both games that sparked us. He’s the backbone of this team and we are hopeful that a division one school will see what he is (and has been) doing for us,” said Bruins head coach Steve Howard.
The Bruins head to Aberdeen this weekend to take on the Wings. Game time for both Friday and Saturday night is set for 7:15 PM CST at the Odde Ice Center in Aberdeen, South Dakota.
